One of the more common questions from new clients: “Do I really get paid before the event happens?”
Yes — payment is “on delivery,” not “on event date.” Once a ticket is sold and delivered to the buyer, that payment becomes part of your next scheduled payout, deposited straight into your bank account via ACH. You’re not stuck waiting weeks or months for an event to pass before seeing your money.
Why this matters for cash flow
If you’re reinvesting payouts into new inventory, waiting until after the event date would choke your cash flow right when you need it most — in the run-up to the next on-sale. Paying on delivery instead of on event date keeps money moving on a schedule you can actually plan around.

Weekly Payouts: Why Cash Flow Shouldn't Wait
Every client on Ticket Attendant gets paid on the same schedule: weekly, via ACH direct deposit. No tiers, no waiting to "earn" a faster cadence — it's the default for everyone from day one. Why weekly matters If you're reinvesting payouts into new inventory, the gap between a sale and the cash landing in your account is the gap that determines how fast you can move on the next on-sale. A weekly cadence keeps that gap short and predictable, so you're not stuck financing purchases out of pocket while you wait on a payout. Paid on delivery, not on event date Payment timing is tied to delivery, not the event date. As soon as a ticket sells and delivers, it's queued for your next weekly payout — you're not waiting weeks or months for the event itself to pass before seeing your money. There's no schedule to negotiate and nothing to set up. It's one predictable rhythm for every client, so you can plan around it from the start.
